Nautilus has it's own interface independent of general Bonobo/Gnome
ones. I'm not entirely sure of the reason for this but it has been source
of much teeth gnashing on the gnome lists. On the plus side, it is in
principle easy to write a Nautilus viewer. You just need to copy the
sample viewer and work from that.
Having said that, that's what I did but currently abiword gets activated,
but Nautilus does nothing with it. It just sits there saying the component
didn't work. (Nothing crashes and none of the defined callbacks gets
called either.)
I'm sure it could be fixed with a bit of gdb'ing inside Nautilus but for
that you'd need to compile it and I got sick tracing down all the
dependencies.
So I left it for Dom or someone else :-)
Cheers
Martin
